OSHO

ONE DAY, KYOZAN WAS LOOKING AT THE MOON TOGETHER WITH SEKISHITSU AND ASKEDHIM,

”WHERE DOES THE ROUNDNESS OF THE MOON GO WHEN IT BECOMES SHARP,CRESCENT?”

SEKISHITSU SAID, ”WHEN IT IS SHARP, THE ROUNDNESS IS STILL THERE.”

When it is round it is still sharp.

Nothing goes anywhere.Sometimes it is manifest, sometimes it is unmanifest, but it is alwayshere – just like the moon.On the full-moon night you see its roundness, and then slowly slowlythat roundness is no more round.Something starts disappearing from your vision which is notdisappearing in the moon itself.
